Tapi

tried to keep the redesign as reminiscent as i could, but it's quite hard given the simplicity of the old design. probably comes down to my artstyle in general just being way too different

sentient slime inhabiting part of an old armor suit used in war long ago. they've acquired certain memories and tendencies of the warrior, but not how to fight optimally. yeah, you can lug a big sword around and call it child's play, but that's how you end up like the soldier whose armor Tapi now dons. if it works, it works, however - the good thing about being a slime is that physical injuries and strains are not of your concern, so destructive fighting styles are no big deal!

escorts Koralia, the Empress's daughter, on her journeys across the land. Tapi refuses to let her battle or get involved in any kind of conflict, even though she is a part of the royal knights herself and has quite the experience with a blade. if any slight injury or even speck of dirt was found, Tapi would feel crushed under the anxiety of being exiled from the empress' realm!

in no way is Tapi certified to escort such a high-profile individual such as Koralia, but their prominence as a mysterious yet very powerful warrior traversing the land brought them enough word to their name to qualify for the spot.

Many stories tell of a rusty-armored traveler leveling monster camps, splitting boulders to unearth victims stuck under rubble, saving maidens from towers, the list of their accomplishments goes on... but as much as people spout about their victories, Tapi resents the attention and simply give a humble nod in approval while walking along.
